‘**** The dancers are dazzling… a mesmerising spectacle’ - Mail on Sunday 

 

Delving into the world of authentic Argentinian tango, the intimate and sensual Tango After Dark returns to The Peacock from 26 May - 13 June 2020, following its successful run in 2018. 

 

Set to the rhythms of the great tango composer and bandoneon player, Astor Piazzolla, World Tango Champion German Cornejo presents his superb dance company. 

 

Accompanied by two singers and seven musicians playing Piazzolla’s Nuevo Tango, ten world-class Argentinean dancers keep audiences’ passion for tango burning deep into the night. 

 

Sandra Castell Garcia, Executive Producer, comments:

“We are thrilled to bring Tango After Dark back to The Peacock after such a successful run in 2018. Including six world tango champions on stage and one of the most exciting bands from Argentina, this is tango at its best.

“It’s also a very exciting time for the show to return, as German Cornejo and I have established our company in the UK and have started a research period to bring audiences even more thrilling work, always under Cornejo’s excellent direction.”

 

Following its performances at The Peacock, Tango After Dark tours to The Joyce, New York, from 24 November to 6 December 2020. Further tour dates to be confirmed.

Located in Islington, north London, Sadler’s Wells’ current building is the sixth to have stood on site since entrepreneur Richard Sadler first established the theatre in 1683. The venue has played an illustrious role in the history of theatre ever since, with The Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet and English National Opera having all started at Sadler's Wells. 

Sadler’s Wells is to open an additional mid-scale venue in east London in 2022. The new space will be at the heart of the East Bank project, a new cultural and education district in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, which will also include BBC, UAL’s London College of Fashion, UCL and the V&A in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution. As well as a 550-seat auditorium, our new venue will include a choreographic centre and a hip hop theatre academy, the first of their kind in the world to be run by a theatre.

I saw this when it came on tour in 2018.  They are very good and I would recommend this for anyone interested in stage tango and its artistry and wonderful music.  Tango will always be my first love as a dancer and it can be really interesting to watch some of the techniques and tricky steps
